I saw the water rising
And I watched the fire burning
There’s always something turning
So I did nothing
 
The moon was softly shining
And our love was slowly dying
Life is a knife that’s certain
So I did nothing
 
I saw the water rising
And I knew our love was dying
Oh things can be so sudden
So I did nothing
 
I saw it coming I saw it coming I saw it coming
And I did nothing
I saw it coming I saw it coming I saw it coming
And I did nothing
